Truly epic. This will be one of the best Swallowtails in the world once completed - and that's no exaggeration.
Incredible work mate.

again i don't have the end picture…..i'll get the headlights out and take another pic.
Fuel Neck & Tank straps:
Original was in good shape, just started rotting in one corner, which i just cut off. I sent the fuel neck off for acid striping, galvanizing and then power zinc coating, followed by black satin power coat on top.
